Arsenal thump Brighton as Slegers’ fine start continues

Playing in front of 22,467 fans under the lights at Emirates Stadium, the Gunners looked back to their best as they swept aside the visitors with a ruthless display.

Beth Mead opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a low curling strike, before Caitlin Foord added a second by scuffing a close-range effort past Sophie Baggaley.
